JVC Sound Garden: What Eco Zen Sounds Like

Part container garden, part speaker system, part "We're green" billboard from JVC. Exhibited recently at Tokyo Designers, week we're not quite sure what to make of this. Is it really appealing to be able to put plants in your speakers? Is the fact that it is made out of eco plastic a good enough reason to buy these speakers instead of other compact speakers?

We can see this working on a desk or bedside table as more of an iPod speaker set, but in front of your TV as part of your home theater? Ummm, not really. It sure doesn't seem like you could get good imaging with these. We'll stick with the more traditional setup thank you very much.
